the structure of kinetoplast dna. 2. characterization of a novel component of high complexity present in the kinetoplast dna network of crithidia luciliae.1. degradation of highly purified kinetoplast dna (kdna) networks with restriction endonucleases yields "extra" bands in agarose gels that are absent from digests of mini-circles. each of the five endonucleases tested, i.e. alui, hapii, ecori, hsu and hindii + iii, yields a unique set of "extra" bands. the "extra" bands consist of linear dna; they are not mini-circle oligomers and their added molecular weight, calculated from mobility in gels, are around 2 x 10(7). double digests with two restri ...19761278151
aflatoxin production by a variant of aspergillus oryzae (nrrl strain 1988) on cowpeas (vigna sinensis).aflatoxin b1, b2, g1, and g2 are produced when a variant of aspergillus oryzae (nrrl strain 1988) is grown on cowpeas or rice. the present study indicates that a strain of aspergillus oryzae approved for use in food processing is variable and the resulting variant, unlike the parent strain, has a propensity to produce aflatoxin.19761273594
the in situ formation of dna-dna duplexes of drosophila virilis satellite dna.the dna of drosophila virilis brains and imaginal discs was labeled in vitro to a specific activity of 6 x 10(-5) dpm/mug, using an organ culture medium. the dna was fractionated on neutral and alkaline csc1 gradients and the heavy strands of satellite i annealed in situ to denatured polytene chromosomes from squash preparations of larval salivary glands. nuclease s1 from aspergillus oryzae was used to digest the unpaired ssdna, resulting in a distinct labeling of the alpha-heterochromatin in th ...19761253642
nuclease s1 cleavage and the primary structure of mitochondrial dna.the single-strand-specific nuclease s1 from aspergillus oryzae rapidly converts superhelical mitochondrial dna (african green monkey cells, vero atcc; ccl 81) into nicked circular dna. these nicked mitochondrial dna molecules contain two nicks, one in each strand. the phosphodiester backbones are cleaved during this reaction at or near sites that are alkali-labile. in a second slow reaction the circular mitochondrial dna is converted into a linear duplex dna. permutation tests indicate that this ...19761261542
purification and properties of the nuclease inhibitor of aspergillus oryzae and kinetics of its interaction with crystalline nuclease o.a nuclease inhibitor found in the mycelia of aspergillus oryzae has been purified 158,000-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on sephadex g-75, deae-sephadex a-50 and bio-gel p-60 columns, preparative disc electrophoresis on acrylamide gel, and electrofocusing in ampholite. the purified inhibitor is nearly homogeneous as judged by disc electrophoresis. it shows a typical ultraviolet absorption curve for protein, and the inhibitory activity is inactivated by chymotrypsin. the i ...19761262346
sepcific fragmentation of dna heteroduplex molecules of two bacteriophage lambda mutants with endonuclease si from aspergillus oryzae.heteroduplex dna molecules of two bacteriophage mutants (lambda b2 and lambda i434ct68) were obtained by the method of molecular hybridization. these heteroduplexes possessed two types of loops formed as a result of: a) deletion in one of the dna strands; and b) substitution of a dna fragment for nonhomological one. the digestion of heteroduplexes with single-stranded specific nuclease si from aspergillus oryzae produced two fragments at 37 degrees c and three ones at 55 degrees c. the separatio ...19761272803
